When do you think elected Democrats will begin to realize

that they have damaged the Democratic Party by embracing/endorsing all things Clinton?

Lifelong Dems are leaving the party and young voters are turning away in disgust.

I've read the veiled complaints that Obama hurt the Democratic Party, lost seats, etc.

Really?

Well I have a feeling...

Maybe a few...darn few. If the poor and minorities think she's the answer, they will be very disappointed. Emotions rule. It makes me sick.
